Toots and The Maytals Album: “Very Best of Toots & the Maytals [Music Club]”

If you don't already own this classic, buy it immediately. Toots is a true pioneer of Reggae music. This album will keep you partying long into the summer night.

Words cannot do this album justice. Anyone and everyone will thouroughly enjoy this one. From classics like "Monkey Man" to the incredible covers of "Louie Louie" and "Take me home country roads." Even after hours of listening to this one i am still amazed and moved at the passion that toots puts into his singing. He has a fire in his belly that only James Brown can match. To sum up buy this right now, its incredible.

For anyone whose reggae knowledge is limited to only Bob Marley, this album will definitly open your ears to this wonderful, soulful music form. Toots and the Maytalls combine great beats with Otis Redding-esque vocals and bluesy melodies. There's even some guitar solos. Even my friends who dislike reggae request their cover of "Country Roads" and "Louie Louie" at parties. But past these covers is an amazing collection of songs. This is one of the few CD's I can let play in its entirety without wanting to change any songs. I love them all.

You know you can here a song and a few times and then start to like it. Well these guys change that the first time I heard them (from an old record I found at St. Vincent De Paul I knew I loved them They seriosly are the best band I have heard in a long time. Thanks Toots you rock!

I heard about this group from a friend, and I haven't looked back since. Great for Reggae fans (I agree with the comment about Bob Marley) and also SUBLIME fans (they'll know song #1). I love it, I blare it all over my house, I can't get enough! Go buy it now!
